Bosnian to English: Newspaper article about the TransLab Project for literary translators in Sarajevo Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Bosnian - Ako govorimo o društvenoj poziciji književnih prevodilaca, pažnji koja se posvećuje ovoj struci u smislu zaštite njihovih prava i interesa, neophodnom usavršavanju, onda možemo s pravom reći da je zanemarena. Rad književnih prevodilaca je potcijenjen; ugovori koji ih uopće ne štite i neoprostivo niski honorari ne ohrabruju ih da se bave ovom profesijom. I pored činjenice da u BiH ima veliki broj talentovanih i obrazovanih prevodilaca, opće je poznato da se oni ne mogu, osim u izuzetnim slučajevima, baviti isključivo književnim prevodima, zbog svih gore navedenih razloga, ali i zbog ograničene izdavačke produkcije (prevoda je malo, a izbor tekstova je najčešće proizvoljan). U većini slučajeva, oni se paralelno bave drugim vrstama prevođenja (tehničko-administrativnim, sudskim itd.), zbog čega su mogućnosti za potpunu posvećenost, sticanje iskustva, usavršavanje u sferi književnog prevođenja prirodno ograničene, navodi naša sagovornica.

Translation - English "If we’re talking about the social standing of literary translators—the attention paid to these professionals in terms of safeguarding their rights and interests, essential training—then we can justifiably say that they are neglected. The work of literary translators is undervalued; the contracts that do not protect them and the unforgivably low fees do not encourage them to take up this profession. And despite there being a great many talented and educated translators in [Bosnia and Herzegovina], it is common knowledge that, barring exceptional circumstances, they cannot earn a living from literary translation alone, not only for the reasons just mentioned, but also because of limited publishing opportunities (few translations and the selection of texts is frequently arbitrary). In most cases, they must also work in other types of translation (technical, business, legal, etc.), and this puts a natural limit on their ability to dedicate themselves fully, to gain experience, to advance their training in the realm of literary translation."
